Eurobeat artists are so adorable, you can tell they're more behind the scenes people but goddamnit they're trying and they're having fun.

Edoardo was supposed to record Night of Fire but they changed it last minute to feature Maurizio's voice instead

Man, I wish I were a teen or in my early 20s in this time in Japan. It must have been so much fun to learn all these para para dances and dance them with your friends at clubs, concerts, etc. I have such nostalgia for late 90s/early 2000s Japan. I think it's when games like DDR came to the US and I had discovered Japanese street fashion and gyaru, so it really makes me wish I could have been the appropriate age to experience all this myself. Idk why it's just such a cool and fun time :')

[@yummychips_]

the original eurobeat in the 70s early 80s was big in italy. it died by late 80s, in the early 90s several artists kept going and japan discovered them. They used it for night clubs and stuff since japan was hitting their disco era. Then mid 90s to late 90s, many eurobeat record labels consolidated and sold exclusively to japan. They pumped out an album every month some times 2. It was a factory machine, tons of songs were created from dozens of artists/producers. Then shipped off to japan for what ever use. Video games, anime, clubs, bars, tv shows. The japanese didn't have modern quality music at the time and was still pretty old, even after going past the disco era. So yeah by the 90s edm was and disco was pretty dead in europe. Never came back, till late 90s early 2k, when DJ's started really blowing up instead of being underground. They had tv shows and started a revolution for EDM. Disco was for ever forgotten a long with eurobeat.
